Complex analysis! It assumes politicians and SCOTUS engage rational thought. I don't get the feeling they do.

It still boggles my mind that SCOTUS would become yet another left wing extremist group of people who stsnd ready to hijack our political system not as neutrals but as party loyalists. My preference is for a neutral SCOTUS given a two party system diametrically opposed on tbe basic rights important to country and citizens.

This is fascinating. But at least in contemporary politics, there's hardly anyone who cares more about federalism than about outcomes. As soon as the Repubs get control nationally, they will stop caring about states' rights and become advocates of a unitary national state. The obvious starting point will be national legislation prohibiting abortion
